actual conditions; in tho department, I
am earnestly In favor of advising the
seoretarr of ' tha navy that Portland

Mr. Swigert aald today. In discussing
tne tetter ana figures irom tne secre
tary of the navy, that any of tha battle
ships of the - Nebraska or Connecticut
classes could with entire safety come to
Portland: that their mean draft waa
vary much less than represented by the
secretary's figures, and 'that his sched
ule , waa made up from drafts of the
vessels i when heavilx. overloaded . for
long cruises on the trip around -the
Horn. : He- said that, aa an example of
tne wiae latitude exercised in iixmg tne
draft of a warship tne cruiser Charles
ton has x recorded draft of 25 feet, but
when the vessel last visited this harbor
It waa drawing only 18 feet " The prob
ability of the battleships beln loaded
to their capacity when they would ar
rivtt at tho Columbia river la enttrlv
remote. They would have teamed from
San Francisco, nearly i.ooo miles, and
would be running comnaratlvelr llaht.
so that there would be not the slightest
